Abstract
Salivary glands naturally play central roles in oral immunity. The salivary glands microenvironment inevitable may be exposed to exogenous factors consequently triggering the initiation and formation of various malignant and benign tumors. Mesenchymal stem cells are recruited into salivary gland microenvironment, interact with tumor cells, and induce inhibitory cytokines as well as cells with immunosuppressive phenotypes such as myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) and regulatory T cells (Tregs). The immune components and tumor immune responses in malignant and benign SGTs are still under investigation. Immune responses may directly play a limiting role in tumor growth and expansion, or may participate in formation of a rich milieu for tumor growth in cooperation with other cellular and regulatory molecules. Immune checkpoint molecules (e.g. PDLs, HLA-G and LAG3) are frequently expressed on tumor cells and/or tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in salivary gland microenvironment, and an increase in their expression is associated with T cell exhaustion, immune tolerance and tumor immune escape. Chemokines and chemokine receptors have influential roles on aggressive behaviors of SGTs, and thereby they could be candidate targets for cancer immunotherapy. To present a broad knowledge on salivary glands, this review first provides a brief description on immunological functions of normal salivary glands, and then describe the SGT's tumor microenvironment, by focusing on mesenchymal stem cells, immune cell subsets, immune checkpoint molecules, chemokines and chemokine receptors, and finally introduces immune checkpoint inhibitors as well as potential targets for cancer therapy.

Abstract
Perineural invasion (PNI) is the process of neoplastic invasion of peripheral nerves and is considered to be the fifth mode of cancer metastasis. PNI has been detected in head and neck tumors and pancreatic, prostate, bile duct, gastric, and colorectal cancers. It leads to poor prognostic outcomes and high local recurrence rates. Despite the increasing number of studies on PNI, targeted therapeutic modalities have not been proposed. The identification of PNI-related biomarkers would facilitate the non-invasive and early diagnosis of cancers, the establishment of prognostic panels, and the development of targeted therapeutic approaches. In this review, we compile information on the molecular mediators involved in PNI-associated cancers. The expression and prognostic significance of molecular mediators and their receptors in PNI-associated cancers are analyzed, and the possible mechanisms of action of these mediators in PNI are explored, as well as the association of cells in the microenvironment where PNI occurs.

Abstract
Perineural invasion (PNI) refers to the cancerous invasion of nerves. It provides an alternative route for metastatic invasion and can exist independently in the absence of lymphatic or vascular invasion. It is a prominent characteristic of specific aggressive malignancies where it correlates with poor prognosis. The clinical significance of PNI is widely recognized despite a lack of understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying its pathogenesis. The interaction between the nerve and the cancer cells is the most pivotal PNI step which is mediated by the activation or inhibition of multiple signaling pathways that include chemokines, interleukins, nerve growth factors, and matrix metalloproteinases, to name a few. The nerve-cancer cell interaction brings about specific changes in the perineural niche, which not only affects the regular nerve functions, but also enhances the migratory, invasive, and adherent properties of the tumor cells. This review aims to elucidate the vital role of adhesion molecules, extracellular matrix, and epithelial-mesenchymal proteins that promote PNI, which may serve as therapeutic targets in the future.

Microglia Contributes to BAF-312 Effects on Blood–Brain Barrier Stability. Biomolecules 2022; 12:biom12091174.

Abstract
Microglia, together with astrocytes and pericytes, cooperate to ensure blood–brain barrier (BBB) stability, modulating endothelial responses to inflammatory insults. Agonists of the sphingosine 1 phosphate (S1P) receptors, such as siponimod (BAF-312), are important pharmacological tools in multiple sclerosis and other inflammatory diseases. Modulation of S1P receptors may result in a reduced inflammatory response and increased BBB stability. An in vitro BBB model was reproduced using human-derived endothelial cells, astrocytes and microglia. Co-cultures were exposed to inflammatory cytokines (TNFα, 10 UI and IFNγ, 5 UI) in the presence of BAF-312 (100 nM), and the BBB properties and microglia role were evaluated. The drug facilitated microglial migration towards endothelial/astrocyte co-cultures, involving the activity of the metalloprotease 2 (MMP2). Microglia actively cooperated with astrocytes in the maintenance of endothelial barrier stability: in the triple co-culture, selective treatment of microglial cells with BAF-312 significantly prevented cytokines’ effects on the endothelial barrier. In conclusion, BAF-312, modulating S1P receptors in microglia, may contribute to the reinforcement of the endothelial barrier at the BBB, suggesting an additional effect of the drug in the treatment of multiple sclerosis.

Abstract
Over the last decade, monoclonal antibodies to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI), also known as immune checkpoint blockers (ICB), have been the most successful approach for cancer therapy. Starting with mAb to cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) inhibitors in metastatic melanoma and continuing with blockers of the interactions between program cell death 1 (PD-1) and its ligand program cell death ligand 1 (PDL-1) or program cell death ligand 2 (PDL-2), that have been approved for about 20 different indications. Yet for many cancers, ICI shows limited success. Several lines of evidence imply that the limited success in cancer immunotherapy is associated with attempts to treat patients with "cold tumors" that either lack effector T cells, or in which these cells are markedly suppressed by regulatory T cells (Tregs). Chemokines are a well-defined group of proteins that were so named due to their chemotactic properties. The current review focuses on key chemokines that not only attract leukocytes but also shape their biological properties. CXCR3 is a chemokine receptor with 3 ligands. We suggest using Ig-based fusion proteins of two of them: CXL9 and CXCL10, to enhance anti-tumor immunity and perhaps transform cold tumors into hot tumors. Potential differences between CXCL9 and CXCL10 regarding ICI are discussed. We also discuss the possibility of targeting the function or deleting a key subset of Tregs that are CCR8+ by monoclonal antibodies to CCR8. These cells are preferentially abundant in several tumors and are likely to be the key drivers in suppressing anti-cancer immune reactivity.

Abstract
Perineural invasion (PNI) is a prominent characteristic of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). PNI is associated with tumor progression, local recurrence and neuropathic pain; therefore, the identification of biomarkers associated with PNI may be beneficial in assessing the prognosis for patients with PDAC. Using an in vivo model of PNI, five pancreatic cancer cell lines (PANC-1, CFPAC-1, CAPAN-2, SW1990 and ASPC-1) were divided into two groups: High-(comprising PANC-1, CFPAC-1 and CAPAN-2) and low PNI (comprising SW1990 and ASPC-1). Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the two groups were identified using the GSE26088 dataset, and were regarded as PNI-associated genes. A total of 445 DEGs associated with PNI (fold change >1.5 or <0.66; P<0.05) were identified, which included 176 up- and 269 downregulated genes. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analysis and function annotation were performed, and the NetworkAnalyst database was used for protein-protein interaction network analysis to identify hub genes. A total of 20 hub genes (gene degree, ≥6) were identified. PNI was associated with the function ‘chemokine signaling pathway’. The DEGs and hub genes were validated using the GSE102238 dataset and clinical tissue microarrays. Fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) and catenin α 2 were demonstrated to be associated with PNI using the GSE102238 dataset. Furthermore, clinical tissue microarray analysis demonstrated that FGF2 was associated with PNI and poor prognosis. The present study provided a potential method for the reliable identification of PNI-associated genes, although further investigation is required to validate these results.

CCL5 of glioma-associated microglia/macrophages regulates glioma migration and invasion via calcium-dependent matrix metalloproteinase 2. Neuro Oncol 2020; 22:253-266.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Glioma-associated microglia/macrophages (GAMs) comprise macrophages of peripheral origin and brain-intrinsic microglia, which support tumor progression. Chemokine C-C ligand 5 (CCL5) is an inflammatory mediator produced by immune cells and is involved in tumor growth and migration in several cancers, including glioma. However, the mechanisms detailing how CCL5 facilitates glioma invasion remain largely unresolved. METHODS Glioma migration and invasion were determined by wound healing, transwell assay, and 3D µ-slide chemotaxis assay. The expression levels of CCL5, CD68, matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2), phosphorylated Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (p-CaMKII), p-Akt, and phosphorylated proline-rich tyrosine kinase 2 were determined by cytokine array, quantitative PCR, western blot, or immunohistochemistry. Zymography and intracellular calcium assays were used to analyze MMP2 activity and intracellular calcium levels, respectively. RESULTS CCL5 modulated the migratory and invasive activities of human glioma cells in association with MMP2 expression. In response to CCL5, glioma cells underwent a synchronized increase in intracellular calcium levels and p-CaMKII and p-Akt expression levels. CCL5-directed glioma invasion and increases in MMP2 were suppressed after inhibition of p-CaMKII. Glioma cells tended to migrate toward GAM-conditioned media activated by granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) in which CCL5 was abundant. This homing effect was associated with MMP2 upregulation, and could be ameliorated either by controlling intracellular and extracellular calcium levels or by CCL5 antagonism. Clinical results also revealed the associations between CCL5 and GAM activation. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that modulation of glioma CaMKII may restrict the effect of CCL5 on glioma invasion and could be a potential therapeutic target for alleviating glioma growth.

NT-3/TrkC Axis Contributes to the Perineural Invasion and the Poor Prognosis in Human Salivary Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma. J Cancer 2019; 10:6065-6073.

Abstract
The present study was aimed to investigate the role and mechanism of neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) and its specific receptor tropomyosin receptor kinase C (TrkC) in the perineural invasion (PNI) process of the salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma (SACC). The co-cultured system between SACC cells and Schwann cells (SCs) was employed to detect the expression of NT-3 and TrkC. The results of ELISA, qRT-PCR and western blot showed that NT-3 was noticeably elevated in the co-cultured SACC-83 cells, while TrkC was increased in the co-cultured SCs. The results of scratch wound healing, migration, and 3D co-culture assays showed that the directional migration abilities of the co-cultured SACC-83 cells and SCs were significantly increased. Under the stimulation of NT-3, the directional motor ability of SACC-83 cells and SCs was significantly improved, and the apoptosis of SACC-83 cells and SCs were obviously inhibited. In addition, blocking TrkC by its specific inhibitor AZD7451 could significantly inhibit these effects. Immunohistochemistry staining showed that the positive expression of NT-3 (88.5%) and TrkC (92.3%) was significantly correlated with the PNI in SACC specimens (P < 0.05). Additionally, the high expression of NT-3 was significantly associated with the poor prognosis of SACC patients (P < 0.05). The present study indicated that NT-3/TrkC axis contributed to the PNI progression and the poor prognosis of SACC via regulating the interaction between SACC cells and SCs. Interruption of the interaction between SACC cells and SCs by blocking the NT-3/TrkC axis might be an effective strategy for anti-PNI therapy in SACC.

Abstract
Cathepsin B (CTSB) has been reported to be involved in cancer metastasis by altering extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling and facilitating invasion. However, the contribution of CTSB to collective cell invasion in salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma (SACC) and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. The present study demonstrated that collective cell invasion is commonly observed in SACC without a complete epithelial-mesenchymal transition signature. CTSB was found to be overexpressed in the invasive front of SACC compared to the tumor center, and was associated with a poor prognosis of patients with SACC. Subsequently, a 3D spheroid invasion assay was established in order to recapitulate the collective cell invasion of SACC and the results revealed that CTSB was only expressed in leader cells. The knockdown of CTSB by siRNA inhibited the migration and invasion of SACC-83 cells and impaired the formation of leader cells. CTSB knockdown also disrupted cytoskeletal organization, altered cell morphology and inhibited ECM remodeling by downregulating matrix metalloproteinase-9, focal adhesion kinase and Rho/ROCK function. Therefore, the present study provides evidence that CTSB may define leader cells in SACC and is required for collective cell invasion as a potential key regulator of ECM remodeling.

Abstract
Purpose Perineural invasion (PNI) is reported to correlate with local recurrence and poor prognosis of salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma (SACC). However, the pathogenesis of PNI remains unclear. The aims of this study were to investigate the correlation between sympathetic innervation and SACC PNI and to elucidate how the sympathetic neurotransmitter norepinephrine (NE) regulates the PNI process. Materials and methods Sympathetic innervation and β2-adrenergic receptor (β2-AR) expression in SACC tissues were evaluated by immunohistochemistry. The NE concentrations in SACC tissues and dorsal root ganglia (DRG) coculture models were measured by ELISA. β2-AR expression in SACC cells was detected by performing quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and immunofluorescence assay. SACC cells were treated with NE, the nonselective α-AR blocker phentolamine, the β2-AR antagonist ICI118,551, or were transfected with β2-AR small interfering RNA (siRNA). Proliferation was evaluated in methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium assay, and migration was evaluated in Transwell assay and wound-healing assay. PNI was tested through both Transwell assay and a DRG coculture model. The expressions of epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) were measured by performing qRT-PCR and Western blot assay. Results Sympathetic innervation and β2-AR were highly distributed in SACC tissues and correlated positively with PNI (P=0.035 and P=0.003, respectively). The sympathetic neurotransmitter NE was overexpressed in SACC tissues and DRG coculture models. Exogenously added NE promoted proliferation, migration, and PNI of SACC cells via β2-AR activation. NE/β2-AR signaling may promote proliferation, migration, and PNI by inducing EMT and upregulating MMPs. However, β2-AR inhibition with either an antagonist or siRNA abrogated NE-induced PNI. Conclusion Collectively, our findings reveal the supportive role of sympathetic innervation in the pathogenesis of SACC PNI and suggest β2-AR as a potential therapeutic target for treating PNI in SACC.

Abstract
The perineural invasion (PNI) of malignant tumors is a form of tumor progression in which cancer cells encroach along nerves. PNI hinders curative resection. Residual tumor cells in or around nerves can bring about local recurrence, infiltration and metastasis. This behavior is usually associated with a poor clinical prognosis. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate novel ligand-receptor crosstalk between nerves and tumor cells that promote the process of PNI. Chemokines are regarded as one of pivotal factors involved in the process of PNI. The present review collates information provided by previous studies with regard to the role of chemokines in PNI. The study presents a definition of PNI in cancer, generalizes the biological characteristics and the expression of chemokines and their receptors in cancer types associated with PNI, and discusses the underlying molecular mechanisms of chemokines, the reciprocal interactions between chemokines and other factors in PNI, and the interconnectivity of the microenvironment and chemokines. The aim of the review is to thoroughly illustrate the molecular cues of chemokines in cancer with PNI and to identify novel antitumor targets.

Abstract
PURPOSE Perineural invasion (PNI) is a hallmark of salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma (SACC) and represents an important risk factor for local recurrence and poor survival. However, the mechanism of PNI has yet to be explored. We sought to examine the CCL5-CCR5 ligand-receptor interaction between nerves and SACC cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS CCL5/CCR5 expression was determined by immunohistochemistry in SACC tissue specimens. The correlations between CCL5/CCR5 expression and clinicopathologic features were investigated. Dorsal root ganglia (DRG) and SACC cells cocultured in vitro were used to evaluate the effects of CCL5/CCR5 on PNI progression and pathogenesis. RESULTS CCR5 expression was significantly elevated in SACC tissues and associated with distant metastasis, PNI, and TNM grade (P < .05). DRG and SACC cells cocultured in vitro showed that the activation of the CCL5/CCR5 axis significantly increased SACC cell invasion and promoted the outgrowth of the DRG. SACC cell lines expressing CCR5 migrated in response to CCL5 derived from DRG, eventually leading to PNI. More importantly, further study showed that blocking of CCL5 or CCR5 effectively inhibited the invasive capacity and PNI activity of SACC cells (P < .05). CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest a pivotal role of CCL5/CCR5 axis in tumor-nerve interactions during PNI of SACC. The CCL5/CCR5 pathway might prove to be an attractive new target for the treatment of SACC with PNI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed the role of the CCL5/CCR5 axis in the perineural invasion of salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma (SACC) cells. METHODS Immunohistochemical analysis and flow cytometric analysis were conducted to detect the expression of the chemokine receptor CCR5 in SACC cells. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was performed to determine the expression of CCL5 in the supernate of human nerve cells. The flow cytometric analysis was applied to observe the changes in F-actin in SACC-LM cells, which were pretreated with CCL5. To assess the effects of the CCL5/CCR5 axis on the migration and invasion of SACC-LM cells, we performed a scratch test and invasion assay under CCL5 stimulation. RESULTS CCR5 was highly expressed in SACC cells. The concentration of CCL5 in the supernatant of human nerve cells was (359.2±15.8), (696.4±22.6) pg·mL⁻¹. The CCL5/CCR5 axis promoted the migration and invasion of SACC-LM cells. CONCLUSIONS The CCL5/CCR5 axis may be involved in the perineural invasion of SACC cells.

Abstract
The human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) enters target cells by binding its envelope glycoprotein gp120 to the CD4 receptor and/or coreceptors such as C-C chemokine receptor type 5 (CCR5; R5) and C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4; X4), and R5-tropic viruses predominate during the early stages of infection. CCR5 antagonists bind to CCR5 to prevent viral entry. Maraviroc (MVC) is the only CCR5 antagonist currently approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration, the European Commission, Health Canada, and several other countries for the treatment of patients infected with R5-tropic HIV-1. MVC has been shown to be effective at inhibiting HIV-1 entry into cells and is well tolerated. With expanding MVC use by HIV-1-infected humans, different clinical outcomes post-approval have been observed with MVC monotherapy or combination therapy with other antiretroviral drugs, with MVC use in humans infected with dual-R5- and X4-tropic HIV-1, infected with different HIV-1 genotype or infected with HIV-2. This review discuss the role of CCR5 in HIV-1 infection, the development of the CCR5 antagonist MVC, its pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, drug–drug interactions, and the implications of these interactions on treatment outcomes, including viral mutations and drug resistance, and the mechanisms associated with the development of resistance to MVC. This review also discusses available studies investigating the use of MVC in the treatment of other diseases such as cancer, graft-versus-host disease, and inflammatory diseases.
